Hundred miles away, memories stay
That covered bridge where our names are still engraved
You turned to go; I turned to leave
Then you turned to go, and I turned to leaves
In the cool shade of a sycamore tree,
I paint a perfect portrait of how it used to be
When Im alone my mind it slows
You can paint a smiling face on a scarecrow
But I know myself, I cant be like that
I cant help myself, I will always cry
Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf
Put on my favorite smile
So far away, in my high state
In my head, its all I want to think about
But I stop instead, I got to learn to live without
Itll be easier in the end
When I thought I lost another I can learn to lose a friend
But I know myself, I cant be like that
I cant help myself, I will always cry
Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf
Put on my favorite smile
So far away, in my high state
Under a stone in the back, Ive grown a flower for you, dear
A flower thats so beautiful it may now be flying up here
I water it every day and I rip out every weed
How could I just let it wilt, but it will for just a seed
But I know myself, I cant be like that
I cant help myself, I will always cry
Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf
Put on my favorite smile
So far away, in my high state
